During the weekend, Chris Eubank Jr. secured a victory in the rematch against Liam Smith. Their initial encounter occurred earlier in the year on January 21, with Smith emerging victorious in the fourth round. Who's next for Eubank? Let's find out!
At 39, Golovkin remains the top contender in the 160lb division. Eubank has reaffirmed that Golovkin is his primary target, particularly after their failed negotiations in 2016.
Eubank could be on course to meet Conor Benn, a matchup that was originally planned but canceled when Benn tested positive for PEDs.
If Eubank can't secure a bout with Golovkin or a shot at the middleweight belt, a rematch with his bitter rival, Saunders, is a backup plan. Their 2014 domestic encounter ended in a closely contested split-decision, intensifying their rivalry. Saunders has acknowledged that a £5 million payday for a rematch with Eubank would tempt him back into the ring.
If a fight with Benn doesn't materialize, Eubank may explore the possibility of competing for a championship, possibly facing Jermell Charlo.
Eubank still stands as an option for Canelo, who has expressed interest in fighting in the UK. As per Eubank, "Canelo Alvarez at 168 pounds that I would certainly move up to take that fight."
